Based on the classic Agatha Christie whodunnit.
Black Coffee was Christie's first original play and one of her first works to feature her iconic detective, Hercule Poirot. The twisty tale begins with the poisoning murder of physicist Sir Claude Amory, after his secret atomic bomb formula was stolen from his library. Both thrilling and hilarious, the story involves a classic whodunit with a locked-room mystery, red herrings, and a cast of suspicious houseguests, culminating in Poirot's dramatic reveal of the killer and the formula's location.
Culver City Public Theatre's new production will feature the first female Hercule Poirot.
The show is directed by CCPT president Trace Oakley.
Run time is about two hours, including one intermission.
All shows are free-of-charge, no reservations necessary. Open seating.
